Tough Talk,
My husband and are recently married, deeply in love and looking forward to children. He was raised Catholic and I was raised Protestant, but we are not into organized religion and have real questions about numerous teachings. My in-laws are very austere and very religious and insisting that all our children get baptized and raised as Catholics. They are normally wonderful people, but when religion comes up, they are psychotic zealots. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s really creepy and scary. You can see it in their eyes. And my husband, usually independent, seems like he’s supporting their wishes even though he hated all their religious pushiness. I don’t want to offend them, but they are crossing the line. What should I do TT? (Roosterville, Kentucky)
Roosterville,
You must make it clear to your husband’s parents that it is none of their god damn business how you raise your children and that they are stupid, arrogant and disgraceful for even saying jacks@*! to you. It is the height of arrogance to presume to tell a couple how to raise their children, no matter how close to them they are. You can tell them to ES! How dare they? How dare they?
